Saturn

Ascending

Saturn's debut album 'Ascending' contains the sound of the past, present and future colliding in a shower of riffs, melodies and otherworldly magic. Drawn from a steady diet of Sabbath, UFO, Budgie, Deep Purple, Rainbow and, perhaps most importantly, the Judas Priest of 'Sad Wings Of Destiny' and 'Sin After Sin', the Saturn sound is one that declares a sincere and unapologetic debt to the greats of a bygone era, but this is no lazy exercise in retro posturing. Instead, 'Ascending' conjures its own distinctive world of epic grandeur and gritty oomph via the dextrous weaving of ageless, hallowed ingredients and a jolting injection of contemporary exuberance and verve. Songs like 'Rokktori' and 'Tower Of Terror' exude a deep affinity with the blues and an intuitive grasp of what occurred when metal's original blueprint mutated into the tougher tirades of NWOBHM.
